A Family’s succession story: Sarah Kennedy and Peter Leitch

Peter Leitch and his wife Margot started succession planning when their three daughters were teenagers. Their story shows it’s never too soon to start these conversations, and that building structures around the farming business can help the next generation navigate working together.

The episodes focus on the business aspect of farming and fishing: from financing your first season, to building a brand, raising capital and managing mental health. We hear how young farmers and fishers got started, and what their plans are for the future. These are stories of innovation, resilience and entrepreneurship.
